Answer = (Sum of all integers from 1 to 100 inclusive) - (Sum of integers from 1 to 100 that are SQUARES of integers)Max@Math Revolution wrote:[GMAT math practice question]

Note: 100 is the greatest SQUARE among the numbers from 1 to 100.
100 = 10²
So, answer = (100)(100 + 1)/2 - (10)(10 + 1)(2)(10 + 1)/6
= (100)(101)/2 - (10)(11)(21)/6
= 5050 - 385
= 4665
= B
Cheers,

=>
Since there are 10 squares of integers between 1 and 100, inclusive, we need to find
$$1+2+...+100-\left(1^2+2^2+...+10^2\right)=\frac{\left(100\cdot101\right)}{2}-\frac{\left(10\cdot11\cdot21\right)}{6}=5050-385=4665$$
Therefore, the answer is B.
